Under the Computer Setup Advanced menu, change the resource settings for the board. Check that they are different from those of the network controller. The network controller is defective. Disable the integrated network controller from the setup utility and install a new network interface card. Network controller stops working without apparent cause. Cause Solution The files containing the network drivers are corrupted. The cable is not securely connected. The network is temporarily unavailable. Reinstall the network drivers. Ensure that the cable is securely attached to the network connector and that the other end of the cable is securely attached to the correct device.
